Looks great! wish the graphics chip had not died on my ibook. I still have it as a paperweight, but it is rather large for that function!

 Fun but sad day, Wife is making me put it on eBay, either that, or no new MB for My G5 Case and Memory, it's fine though, I don't even use the thing now, but a Mac is a Mac no matter how you look at it, always hate to see them go |

Why not pick up a cheap one off eBay, or find the low Case with the guts? I know they are still pricey, even when sold as parts though. Looks great! wish the graphics chip had not died on my ibook. I still have it as a paperweight, but it is rather large for that function! |

Or do what i did with mine, resolder pin 28 on the graphics chip and she's purring like a kitten. That's on a G4 iBook though.

Is pin 28 the problem, if thats all that is required, it may be worth taking this apart again!

With mine, i had the fuzzy lines going across my screen. After doing alot of research, i found out that the iBook G4 graphics chip was the culprit. Now this link goes a little over the extreme, but all i did was resolder the one pin that they talk about. That would be pin 28. These guys tried to make it overboard. After i resoldered the one pin, the screen acts like normal iBook G4 Motherboard Vreg Chip Solder Joint Repair |
